Chapter 2230 - 2230 2220 Fire Demon Beast

2230: Chapter 2220: Fire Demon Beast 2230: Chapter 2220: Fire Demon Beast “Seems like you’ve arrived quite promptly.”

Just as the two of them stepped in, a voice came through, belonging to Qing Luo.

Bai Mu made no attempt to hide; with an expressionless face, she gazed at Qing Luo in front of her.

Qing Luo was far from displaying the demeanor of a Demon King, clutching a bright red bead in his hand, with a huge fierce beast in deep slumber behind him.

This beast appeared to be a male lion, but was not entirely so.

Its entire body emitted a bright red color, and the surrounding red glow seemed to nourish the beast, cultivating the formidable creature before them.

The horrifying fluctuations were emanating from this fierce beast.

Long Yan sensed trouble.

Since Qing Luo was not surprised by their arrival, it was likely that he had already accomplished what he intended to do.

Indeed, as Long Yan observed his surroundings, the red bead in his hand emitted a strange red light.

This turn of events nearly caused Qing Luo to drop the bead, but he managed to grasp it firmly.

“So you’re the human cultivator who killed my Four Great Demon Guards.”

Even within this heart, Qing Luo was very aware of what was happening outside.

The human cultivator before him had consecutively killed his subordinates, and he had never imagined that Long Jue would also die at this man’s hand.

Long Yan neither confirmed nor denied with a nod, seeing a trace of melancholy on Qing Luo’s face.

Once, he too had been a Demon King in this inner world, but now betrayed and deserted, he stood alone.

Qing Luo sighed softly; of course, this was not the scene he wished to witness.

“Righteous Father, did you truly kill my biological parents?”

A ripple crossed Bai Mu’s normally still eyes; the answer to this question mattered greatly to her.

“Haven’t you already learned the truth from the Qin Emperor Mirror?”

It turned out that Bai Mu’s actions had long been noticed by Qing Luo, who, however, had not exposed her, maintaining the same facade as before.

“Why?”

Although she already knew the answer, Bai Mu still asked the question.

Of course, she wanted to know the answer, or perhaps, Bai Mu just wanted to understand why Qing Luo had raised her.

Glancing at Long Yan, Qing Luo only wore a smile.

If asked why, perhaps it was because he truly regarded Bai Mu as his own son.

“But…”

Qing Luo’s words took a turn; he truly hadn’t expected Bai Mu to betray him one day.

“You just stand by and watch.”

Long Yan simply patted Bai Mu’s shoulder.

This battle did not require Bai Mu’s effort; now that Qing Luo had admitted it personally, he needed some time to cool down.

“You’re really not bad.”

As if he hadn’t seen Bai Mu’s reaction, Qing Luo spoke to Long Yan, knowing everything about this Human Cultivator who had come to this inner world, such as killing the Blood Shadow, that peculiar zombie creature.

He asked himself if it were him, it would be completely impossible; so in a sense, he did appreciate Long Yan.

However, appreciation was useless, as Long Yan was destined to be his enemy.

“I am a little curious though, you’ve been hiding in here for so long, even if your loyal personnel and home were wiped out, you still choose to hide within this turtle shell.”

Long Yan’s mockery didn’t change Qing Luo’s expression at all; this was his greatest masterpiece.

“If we’re talking about the lion behind you, then forget it.”

Of course, Long Yan wasn’t just pretending to be tough.

The breath that the lion behind Qing Luo unwittingly emitted was terrifying, but it was so only to those Demon Soldiers.

For Long Yan, it was just a matter of concern and not enough to rise to the level of a formidable enemy.

If Qing Luo had given up his subordinates just for such a Demon Beast, Long Yan could only say that Qing Luo’s head had turned stupid.

A faint smile appeared on Qing Luo’s indifferent face.

The fierce beast behind him was not his complete form.

If combined with the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand, he could sweep through the inner world as a monster.

“I’m not afraid to tell you, human, this behind me is the great ancestor of the Demon Race: Fire Demon Beast.”

Pride shone on Qing Luo’s face, this was what he had been working on ever since he became the Demon King.

He had discovered this place and the existence of the Fire Spirit Pearl by chance, setting his mind to work: if he could subdue the Fire Demon Beast, then his sights would surely not only be set on the Demon World.

“Fire Demon Beast?”

Long Yan had once heard of the Fire Demon Beast from ancient books.

Legends say that in the Ancient Era, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi once nurtured countless lives; these beings were nature’s favorites, each symbolizing a different element.

Gradually, they came to be regarded as symbols of fortune by cultivators, which was also the origin of the Five Sacred Beasts.

Just as there is sunlight, there must be darkness.

The rampant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi also bred a pack of violent wild beasts, symbolizing disasters.

Although they possessed Spiritual Wisdom, they harbored a Heart of Slaughter and were ultimately sealed in different places, hence the origin of the Five Demon Beasts.

However, the Demon Beast before him, Long Yan could not relate to the infamous Demon Beasts.

After all, Demon Beasts were born because of the Sacred Beasts, and their power was definitely earth-shattering.

If it were true, then Long Yan only had the option to flee.

Seemingly discerning Long Yan’s confusion, Qing Luo only revealed a hint of disdainful smile.

The current Demon Race are mostly descendants of the Five Demon Beasts, so they possess various Divine Abilities, but these are only a part of the Demon Beast’s Divine Abilities.

For the Demon Race, this aura was undoubtedly one of the Five Demon Beasts.

“He never lies.”

Bai Mu spoke to Long Yan from behind, now having adjusted his mood and deciding to settle this problem by himself.

With a wave of Long Yan’s hand, the Lu Xian Sword appeared, but he charged towards Qing Luo.

If what Bai Mu said was correct, then they absolutely couldn’t let Qing Luo awaken the Fire Demon Beast; the thing was too terrifying.

If allowed to awaken, not to mention the entire inner world, even the Real World would have no one capable of subduing it.

Yet Qing Luo’s face showed no panic.

With his free left hand, he simply pointed at Long Yan, and a green Barrier appeared between the two.

The Lu Xian Sword struck the Barrier, and Long Yan unleashed seven sword strikes in succession, only leaving behind a trail of sparks on the green Barrier, which merely trembled slightly and then returned to its original state.

By this time, Bai Mu also reacted, charging up with Long Yan, but their attacks, without exception, had no effect on the Barrier.

The Lu Xian Sword in Long Yan’s hand condensed starlight, and a sky-covering immense Sword Qi ruthlessly cleaved at the screen, and instantly, numerous cracks appeared on it.

Finally, under the relentless assault of the two, the Barrier cracked open, but at the same time, Qing Luo placed the Fire Spirit Pearl on top of the Fire Demon Beast’s head.
